There are two factors that make Pownce what it is. First, it's an alpha. I am not sure how clear Leah and Kevin made that, but realistically it is still invite-only. The second factor is that it is developed by a developer who is inexperienced, and a visionary that runs one of the most demanded web applications created. I believe that Pownce has a lot of potential, and what we see right now isn't exactly what we are supposed to see. Give it a few months, something's going to happen.
